Bm 
Under the knife I surrendered 

The innocence yours to consume 
             G 
You cut it away 
         Em 
And you filled me up with hate 
Bm 
Into the silence you sent me 

Into the fire consumed 
                    G 
You thought I'd forget 
            Em 
But it's always in my head 

            G 
You're the pulse in my veins 
            Em 
You're the war that I wage 
          Bm 
Can you change me? 
          A 
Can you change me? 
            G 
You're the love that I hate 
             Em 
You're the drug that I take 
          Bm 
Will you cage me? 
          A 
Will you cage me? 
            G 
You're the pulse in my veins 
            Em 
You're the war that I wage 
          Bm 
Can you change me? 
          A 
Can you change me? 
                      G         Em 
From the monster you made me? 
                 Bm      A     Bm 
The monster you made me? 

Bm 
This is the world you've created 

The product of what I've become 
                G 
My soul and my youth 
           Em 
Seems it's all for you to use 
Bm 
If I could take back the moment 

I let you get under my skin 
             G 
Relent or resist? 
           Em 
Seems the monster always wins 

            G 
You're the pulse in my veins 
            Em 
You're the war that I wage 
          Bm 
Can you change me? 
          A 
Can you change me? 
            G 
You're the love that I hate 
             Em 
You're the drug that I take 
          Bm 
Will you cage me? 
          A 
Will you cage me? 
            G 
You're the pulse in my veins 
            Em 
You're the war that I wage 
          Bm 
Can you change me? 
          A 
Can you change me? 
                      G         Em 
From the monster you made me? 
                 Bm      A    Em 
The monster you made me? 

              G                  Bm 
My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul 
              A                         Em 
I'll lift you up and then I'll let you go 
             G                       Bm 
I've made an art of digging shallow holes 
            A                         Em 
I drop the darkness in and watch it grow 
              G                  Bm 
My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul 
             A                      Em 
Who knew the emptiness could be so cold  
               G                          Bm 
I've lost the pieces that could make me whole 
          A 
I am the darkness, I'm a monster 

            G 
You're the pulse in my veins 
            Em 
You're the war that I wage 
          Bm 
Can you change me? 
          A 
Can you change me? 
            G 
You're the love that I hate 
             Em 
You're the drug that I take 
          Bm 
Will you cage me? 
          A 
Will you cage me? 
            G 
You're the pulse in my veins 
            Em 
You're the war that I wage 
          Bm 
Can you change me? 
          A

                      G      Em 
From the monster you made me? 
                 Bm      A 
The monster you made me?

The monster you made me?
